Don't see many White/Black frame sets about.  :) Must be quite rare.  :daumenhoch:

Put up a Wanted ad, someone may have something.  :) Tange would be fine  :), but I think these came with an Anlun which could be quite hard to find.  :-\

a little update, I've been buying parts some NOS but I did go for 50th anniversary skyways and a modern tange headset as it seemed like a sensible upgrade.

I don't know if any of you have used this headset kit MX125C but the cups won't fit into my frame they are about 0.4mm too big in diameter. The instructions say the head tube must be reamed with a head tube reamer.

I have the same issue with the cone on the forks.

Surely this is a specialised job and I don't really want to start machining bits off my frame and forks as once its removed it can't be put back!.

I would be interested to know if others have used this and what they did, I would also like to know if there is a different readily available kit that would be acceptable for my build that will fit straight in!

 "help" thanks

CustardLips:
Put your headset cups in the freezer till tomorrow night then give it another go. Also run some vaseline around the inside of the headtube before you belt the fookers in with a big hammer.  :daumenhoch:

carmadham:
i tried that with the fork cone, i put the forks in the freezer and the cone in the oven with my dinner :whistle:. still nowhere near close enough though
